During the event, you will meet 1:1 with the sponsors and all of the meetings will be pre-scheduled by YOU! 

Each IA will meet with 20 sponsors throughout the 1:1 sessions. Below, you will be able to select the brands that you would like to meet with. Please keep the following in mind: 

• Appointments will be first-come, first-served! You may end up with brands that were not on your list. HOWEVER, it would be a great time to meet someone new and explore a new brand that may be a good fit for your Independent Agency.
• Please select a DIFFERENT brand for each time slot. Should you choose the same brand twice, it will be switched by the Avoya Events Team
• Note, the Events Team reserves the right to make some adjustments to your selections to make the entire 1:1 schedule work for all attendees. 

Please read the below before selecting appointments, as it is a guide to correctly selecting appointments:

• You will select a track color (Brick or Blue), which will just determine the times that you will have appointments. Each track will have a space limit, and track selection will be first-come, first-served. Both tracks are identical.
  • If you are two IA Owners of the same Independent Agency that are doing appointments together, one will select the track color and the other will select the same track color, but the selection that reads the color and that you're part of the duo. (i.e. one selects "Brick Track", the other selects "Brick Track - I am part of an IA duo..." to skip the appointment selections. 
• Once you have selected a track, each agenda time will appear. You will select each check box to get the drop-down menu of time slots for each brand represented. 
• Please select a DIFFERENT brand for each time slot. You will be required to select a brand for each individual time slot. Should you select the same brand twice, the Events Team will select a different brand on your behalf. 
• If you are an IA DuoTeam doing 1:1 Appointments together, please have only ONE PERSON select the 1:1 Appointments (the person who selects just the track color).

During the Million Dollar Showcase, you’ll have the opportunity to build your own workshop schedule by selecting four sessions from a curated list of topics.

Please note that while some workshops will be offered more than once, others will only be available during a single time slot, so we recommend reviewing your options carefully. Each workshop has limited capacity and may fill up quickly, so early selection is encouraged.

Your selected Track for 1:1 Appointments will determine the timing of your available workshop sessions.

Attendance at four workshops is mandatory.

New This Year: IA Think Tanks
You asked, we listened. In response to your feedback, we’ve expanded our workshop offerings to include IA Think Tanks—collaborative brainstorming sessions where you can connect with fellow IAs to share ideas, best practices, and real-world techniques on key topics. No presentations—just peer-to-peer conversation and actionable insights. While Think Tanks are moderated by an Avoya staff member to help guide the conversation, the focus is on peer-to-peer collaboration, idea sharing, and learning from one another.
